MCARA/MCARES members began Field Day preparations on Friday by erecting 8 antennas and two towers, and setting up four radio stations. Then, on Saturday morning, Tom K4TMA fired up the BBQ! And the weekend just kept getting better from there!

The weather was perfect, the radios worked flawlessly, the food was fantastic, and we even made some new friends! We really didn't want to break it all down on Sunday!
